Lyrics
Hoboken
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
i'm in this prison built for you
in this situation I don't know what to do
can't make a connection get a reaction
there's this wall and I can't get through
you're dying some guilt with no words
what did I say what did I do
youth hostels I lodged, kept seeing you as a mirage
flashes of you were everywhere hoboken, new jersey
I'm in this prison built for you
in this situation I don't know what to do
always something makes me think
things don't have to be so wrong
you put up walls with nothing spoken
in your weakness you're so strong
